After a brief silence, the entire playground erupted in cheers!
"SS-rank! My god, it's actually SS-rank!"
"Starry Sky Mage! That na screams 'Invincible Magic Class'!"
"A true dragon is about to erge from our Donghai City!"
Ye Xi, sitting in the audience, jumped and danced with excitent, her face flushed as she gazed at the radiant Zhou Huai on stage.
The principal rushed up to the transfer platform and grabbed Zhou Huai's hand.
"Excellent! Excellent! You truly are a prodigy of the Zhou family!" The principal exclaid, his face beaming. "Zhou Huai, you will be the pride of Donghai No. 1 High School from now on, and the hope for the future of our Great Xia Kingdom!"
Zhou Huai stood on the high platform, looking down at the countless gazes below filled with awe, envy, and fervor, his body surging with the power to control the stars.
A sense of satisfaction and pride completely enveloped him.
He smiled at the principal.
"The principal is too kind."
Zhou Huai raised his chin, his expression arrogant: "However, I will beco a top figure like Marshal Zhao Qingcang, who will suppress a country!"
Cheers erupted from the audience.
Everything was so real, so perfect; this was the pinnacle of his dreams.
However, just as he was enjoying this supre glory...
A sudden, languid, and mocking voice rang out from the depths of his mind without warning.
"Silly child, shouldn't you wake up?"
The smile on Zhou Huai's face disappeared.
He was stunned.
This voice didn't belong to anyone in the illusion. It didn't belong to this world at all; it was a voice that forcefully pierced this false tranquility from another dinsion!
"Who is speaking?"
Zhou Huai's expression turned cold.
His earlier basking in vanity vanished. His instincts as a apex predator sharpened, turning his gaze cold and piercing.
He remained calm and did not panic.
Standing quietly on the job change platform under the spotlight, my consciousness had already contracted inward.
The next second, in Zhou Huai's mind, the noisy cheers, the principal's praise, and even Ye Xi's concerned gaze all quickly peeled away and shattered.
In the endless darkness, a captivating figure erged.
It was a woman dressed in a dark green dress. She floated silently in the void, surrounded by the faint light of the laws of life.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet it exuded an air of indifference and detachnt.
Zhou Huaiming had never seen her in this world.
However, upon gazing at this figure, a tenacious nerve deep within his heavily sealed mories was violently stirred.
The unease that had been lingering in my heart for so long finally found an outlet.
Zhou Huai gazed at her, his tone calm, and called out her na without hesitation.
"Tsubaki?"
What are you doing here?
Zhou Huai blurted it out, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
He had never seen this woman before; the na Chun should be an absolutely unfamiliar word to him.
But he just called it out so naturally.
Chun in the void chuckled.
The laughter was crisp and lodious, then faded away.
“A beautiful dream can only ever be a dream.” Chun’s gaze pierced through the false light and shadow around her, staring intently at him. “Zhou Huai, it’s ti to wake up.”
"Otherwise, Mr. Duan will be out of trouble soon and will co looking for you."
Mr. Duan?
Zhou Huai frowned, repeatedly chewing on the na between his lips and teeth.
"Mr. Duan... Mr. Duan..."
Every ti Zhou Huai uttered these three words, an extrely sharp pain would pierce the depths of his mind.
However, along with this stinging pain, those underlying mories that had been forcibly sealed and altered by the laws of higher dinsions began to frantically assault the barriers of this false world!
ntioning this na is like unlocking the door to the fog.
The darkness of the deep sea, the deford behemoths, the Netherworld Chains left behind by Mo Lao, the terrifying giant hand ford from black high-dinsional laws... those life-or-death battles, those collisions of power that transcended the limits of dinsions, that real blood and fire, all shattered this laughable tranquility!
The confusion that once belonged to an ordinary high school student in Zhou Huai's eyes was completely replaced by a cold and domineering dark golden light!
The one who has achieved the ultimate unity of all things, the half-step transcendent being, has returned.
anwhile, in the realistic light and shadow of the job change platform, the underlying logic of the illusion sensed the violent fluctuations in Zhou Huai's consciousness and began to frantically repair and strengthen this perfect world.
"Huai'er! Well done! You truly deserve to be my son, Zhou Feng's son!"
Zhou Feng, beaming with pride, rushed onto the job change platform and hugged Zhou Huai tightly, his voice filled with pride and fervor.
"SS-rank hidden class! Starry Sky Mage! Hahahaha! Our Zhou family is finally about to produce a true dragon!"
He patted Zhou Huai's shoulder forcefully, spitting as he described a grand plan: "From today onwards, the entire Donghai City, no, the entire Great Xia Kingdom, will have to defer to you! In the future, you will definitely beco the pillar of our Great Xia!"
The mother also walked quickly onto the stage, her eyes reddening, full of love and tenderness.
"Huai'er, Mom knew you could do it."
Ye Xi followed closely beside her mother, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
"Brother Zhou Huai, you're amazing! I knew you'd be the best!"
The principal, teachers, students, and even the usually aloof representatives of the major guilds below the stage were all applauding and cheering wildly, with so even kneeling on the ground and shedding tears of excitent.
Flowers, applause, glory, family, love...
Everything about it was so perfect, flawless. It resonated with the deepest desires of every mortal for redemption and the pinnacle of life.
However.
Faced with this noisy and frenzied celebration, Zhou Huai no longer showed his arrogant smile.
He stood quietly in place, letting Zhou Feng pat his shoulder and his mother hold his hand.
He suddenly raised his head and calmly looked at the three people in front of him.
He remained silent for a long ti.
There was no joy, no excitent in his eyes, only a cold indifference that saw through everything.
Gradually, Zhou Huai began to laugh.
That was the mocking smile of a superior looking down on ants, or a predator scrutinizing its prey.
The mother keenly noticed Zhou Huai's unusual behavior.
Her smile froze slightly, and she released Zhou Huai's hand, looking sowhat flustered.
"Huai'er... what's wrong?" the mother asked gently, her concern evident. "Why are you unhappy? You're an SS-level professional now, this is a montous occasion!"
Zhou Feng stopped laughing and frowned at his son: "Yeah, what are you staring at? Are you so happy you've gone silly?"
Ye Xi also ca closer with concern, reaching out her fair little hand to try and grab Zhou Huai's clothes.
"Brother Zhou Huai, don't scare ."
Looking at the faces in front of him, so lifelike yet so fake, Zhou Huai shook his head.
"What a childish show."
Zhou Huai's voice stood out clearly on the noisy job-change platform.
This casual remark brought all the cheers around them to an abrupt halt.
The entire playground was frozen in place, and the scene was paused.
“However...” Zhou Huai looked at his parents, whose faces were full of astonishnt, and sneered: “I have to admit, Mr. Duan, the high-dinsional ntal illusion you set up in this Sea God’s Stomach is indeed quite sothing. It hit the nail on the head, and I almost, just a little bit away, fell for your trick.”
